There was a woman who fell in love with a chimp, a 200 pounder. She dressed the chimp in a dinner jacket, he developed a taste for fine cigars, was partial to Merlots, and liked to drive the lady's car.

One day, the chimp demanded the keys to the car. He had a few too many. The lady called her friend and asked her to come over to help calm the 'man' of the house. Chimp wouldn't have any of that. He bit the friend's hands off, then her face.

Some relationships are just not meant to be!

The Tsarina was partial to ponies.

Who are you to judge? Really!

BTW cam, "Walkies"? really? Is that like Honkies? Is that an oppressor class?

Once again, I disagree but he certainly is entitled to his view without condemnation.

As a person who has been engaging 2x6 in this thread, I feel the condemnation comment is directed at me. I've tried hard not to condemn him for his views. Voicing disagreement and reasons for my disagreement are not condemnation.

Here in California we have grade school text books which indoctrinate children, 1st, 2nd 3rd graders about families with 2 moms or two dads.

That's the thing with the passing on of information. If you do not object to the material or the way it's being taught, you call it education. If you take issue with it, you call it indoctrination. Public school has always been an interesting mix of education and indoctrination. I'm in favor of exposing children to the realities of gay families. It can contribute to a reduced rate of bullying and prejudice, making the lives of gay kids that much less difficult. Statistics show that kids can be downright cruel -- to the point of killing and/or driving others to suicide -- to people they perceive as too unlike them.

I'm touched that you care, but I really think you're projecting your own heebie-jeebies onto the children. Do you think gay parents care any less about keeping physical intimacy away from the eyes of their children? No. If they come from anywhere, negative perceptions will come from outside the home. This goes back to why I think educating children about all aspects of the current human condition in school is a good idea.

Yes popular culture driven by liberal elites mock marriage. Mockery and sarcasm are used as substitutes for reasoning and argument. For example, express concern for the indoctrination of children in grade school with the leftist anti family pro homosexual agenda, and you may hear accusations or snide insinuations that you are not really concerned about the children, but rather merely expressing your heeby jeebies. Resort to mockery, personal attacks, name calling are not argument. Leftists increasingly resort to personal attacks while sharing high fives among themselves.

I think we've seen this tactic at work in this conversation.
